BLAINE'S STRATEGY.

The st. Peter Tribune liosts the follow
ing ticket for 1888: For president JAMES
G. BLAINE, of Maine; for vice president,
A. X. MCGILL, of Minnesota. 1t is so
common for the local press to boom local
tayorItes for unattainable positions that no
attention would be paid to what would
ordinarily be taken as passing and useless
compliment to Gov. MCGILL if it were not
for certain peculiar circumstances attached
to this particular instance. st. Peter is
Gov. MCGILL's home and the Tribune is
his personal organ. If strawS show which
way the wind blows then there is some
local significance 10 be attached to this
local boom for the governor. 1t shows that
the bees are buZZing around in Minnesota
in close proximity to somebody's bonnet.
Whether Gov. MCGIII really has an eve on
the nomination for vice president Oh not. is
altogether matter OF con lecture so far as
the public is concerned 1t looks like
somebody was tampering with the jury,
and, so far as light is shed upon the situa-
ton. it is plain to discern Mr.. BLAINE's
fine hand in the whole business. The grow
ing disposition among the Republican leaders
tial candidate has an alarming aspect to Mr..
BLAINE's vision. The energetic way that
INGALLS, and SHERMAN and some more of
the prominent Western Republicans are
working this Western racket intenslies Mr.
BLAINE's alarm. He is not man to sit
down with folded hands to bewail the stu
ALTON without making an effort to turn the
tide That is not JAMES e.. BLAINE'S
Way. He tights the devil with fire He
comes to work of that character lie
Is master. He has genius for
intrigue that wonld have done credi t
tn the ancient house of CHURCHILL
In preparing his plan of battle for 1888 Mr..
BLAINE is leaving the East to take care of
itself. His line of campaign is marked out
III the Western states. With that audacious
courage which has gained for him the title
OF the Pinned Knight, he is going to meet
his enemies on their own ground. His
scheme now is to bring up BLAINE delega-
tionS from the Western states to the next
national Republican convention. BLAINE's
great forte as political leader is his thor
Ough familiarity with local politics
III every section OF the country. He
sits down in his Maine home and
spreading out his political map before him
he traces the line of the political battle
fought in Minnesota last year. He starts
with the beginning of the campaign and
sees how cleveriy MCGILL got away with
GILMAN i'll the primaries. That Ramsey
county coup d etat delights BLAINE ex.
ceedingly, for it is just his style of politica
warfare. He then moves little further
along and discovers the strategetic movement
by which McGH.L. with the aid of Field
Marshal LOREN FLETCHER. fanked GIBBS
in the convention and captured his
entire granger reserve corps. These
tactics confirm Mr.. BLAINE in the
opinion that MCGI!.L is his man to b
charged with the work OF sael.in: ii

not place this case on that ground, but
rather on the ground of a tribute on the
part of grateful country to the widow of
man who served it well and as an in
centive to those who were to follow in his
| footsteps. Mr.. Randall said that he had
voted to give the widows of Gems. Thomas

been exceptional cases, and he was ready

difference in the heart beats of the

of the North in behalf of the Union, except
in this, that two of them had been in the
regular order and that there were precedents

proposed to make a precedent in behalf of
the volunteer army OF the United States.

| Indiana, believed that in the granting of
large pensions there was danger to the
American people and the American govern

| those who did not need it tended to build
| up an arStOcracy with money wrung out of

suspend the rules and pass the bill was lost

tWO-thirds in the affirmative.

HIS LETTERS WE'RE RETURN ED

She gave him back his letters
With her fine patrician air,
While tinge of gentle sadness
Made her seem more truly fair.
And thus the bond was severed.
While their love was in its SPRING:
She gave him back his letters.
But she kept his diamond ring.
She would be to him a sister
If he needed such friend:
In this world, so false and cruel.
On her truth he might depend.
Other men might deem her heartIess,
She would pass them by as churIs.
While. in stateliest devotion.
She would wear his set of pearls.
And the jeweled fans from Paris
In their costly cabinet,
And the many dainty trifles
Wrought in ormolu and Jet;
And much bric-a-brac of value
That had come across the brine.
She retained as sweet mementoes
OF the days of auld lang syne.
But she gave him back his letters.
And indeed they were not few.
Tho they had no money value.
AS our heroine well knew:
So she parted with them bravely.
And the interview was DER.
And with kindest condesceusioa
She dismissed him at the door.

pair of Burglarious sparrows.

BOSTON, BVacUH.
The other morning resident of a quiet
street much frequented by sparrows was
walked by mournful noise. something like
a peep of young bird and the chatter of an
old one, but neither very loud nor peremp-
tory. Looking up from her pillow, she be-
held two sparrows on the sill of the open
window, Juggling away at knot of blue
wool that had been tied for some fancy
work and left on table beside the window
the previous night. The object of the spar.
rows was burglary, for they had not only
entered the window, but had dragged their
plumber nearly out of it before discovered
The lady looked on with breathless interest
and finally had the satisfaction of seeing the
latest burglar fly away with the spoils,
closely followed by his pal.

The Same Old Country.

CulCdSO NeWD.
Broadway, in the vicinity of the Morton
house, presents a strange appearance these
days. Buffalo Bills scouts and Indians and
the inhabitants of the Aztec village, all of
whom are appearing in New York at pres
ent. flock down to the Morton house to
meet their fellow professionals, and it is no
uncommon thing to see hundred and fifty
or two hundred men clothed in buckskins
serapes, and sombreros and armed with
everything from bows and arrows to Colts
42-caliber revolverS, parading up Gld down
the street over mile or so. One night a
short time ago Lord Kinwaddie, the eldest
son OF the earl of Bucleuch arrived in New
York direct from England and put up at the
Union Square hotel. It was his intention
to write book on America, refuting all the
errors which his countrymen, who had done
likewise, had made, and which he was told
did rank injustice to the country. He
had never been here before, and his time
was limited. but he intended to correct the
gross ignorance of his countrymen regarding
the lawleSSnesS of America. He awoke at
10 the next morning, and, after partaking
of breakfast. he strolled out on tine street.
The first sight that met his astonished
British gaze was a Strapping Sunburned
scout known as the Bad Man from Bodice"
who plays the light comedy roles in Buffalo
Bills play. The Bad Man had a Henry re-
peating rifle on his shoulder and huge
bowie knife prOtruding from his boot.
While his lordship was gasping with aston
ishment at the apparition troup of half
naked Aztec Indians in full war paint came
galloping down the street, who0ping for all
they were worth. Looking still farther he
beheld long vistas of armed men in all man
ner Of barbaric costumes, until his brain
reeled, and he staggered into the hotel in a
fainting condition. An hour later his valet
took the following cablegram to the Office:
To Bucleuch, London: All that has been
said about America is true. Will return at
once. KINWADDIE.
